Titan Wars III: Revenge of the Villains
Ch. 8: More bad news
Titans East
Aqualad had been trying to call Titans Tower and received no answer. He did however get a call from Robin.
"Aqualad, the robots turned on us. I'm sure they'll head for the tower to get the others."
Star spoke then, "I am sure Terra will be all right if she is there."
"We'll be there as soon as possible," Robin finished.
The call ended and Aqualad began to worry. If Terra was at the tower, would she be killed by the renegade robots? If he went to check then he would be outnumbered.
So all he could do was stay here and hope she'd be okay.
Titans Tower
Kid Flash had just arrived on the scene at Titans Tower when he saw several Slade-bots gathered on the shoreline.
"Hey, guys," he said, "Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss?"
The Slade-bots replied by pointing their guns at him.
"Man, are you guys that mad at me?"
Just then, more Slade-bots came piling out of the tower holding the three young Titan members in their arms and dragging Bobby behind them.
"Hey!" Kid Flash exclaimed.
Then the Slade-bots opened fire. He quickly sped off to find answers to what was going on. He found a place to hide and called Jinx.
"Hey, Jinx," he said, "Those stupid robots have gone all evil. We got to warn the others before it's too late."
"I tried," replied Jinx, "But no one's answered yet."
"We've got to keep trying."
Meanwhile
Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg finally climbed out of the water and onto dry land.
"Let's not do that again," said Cy.
"Dude, I'm the one who morphed into a shark and pulled you," replied BB.
"Enough," stated Raven, "We need to keep moving so we're not found by those machines. Let's find the T-Ship, call the others, and get back to Jump City."
The other two nodded in agreement and they snuck around the army to find their ship. They came across a group of Slade-bots talking.
"Did you find them?" asked one.
"No one could have survived that fall," replied the other.
"Start loading the army onto the ships."
"Yes, sir."
They managed to go unseen and found the T-Ship at last. They hopped in and took off. Raven called Robin first.
"Robin, are you there?"
"----- Raven, sorry, I had my communicator turned off. Star and I are heading back to Jump City. This is happening everywhere. I couldn't get a hold of any of the other Titans except Kid Flash and Jinx. Oh, and Aqualad's still safe at the east tower. He's too far away so we'll all meet on the outskirts of the city and regroup."
"Please be careful, friends," said Starfire.
The call ended and the ship went to Jump City.
"Well, you heard him," said Cy, "Time to regroup."
Hawaii
Near the base of the volcano, the other villains had been sent there and were awaiting Slade's call. They received it at last
"Everything is going as you planned, Deathstroke," said Dr. Light.
"Of course it is," he replied, "You have done well. When my new apprentice, Terra, arrives, she will take care of you."
Later
After a while, the seven remaining Titans gathered together.
"Hasn't anyone else called?" asked Beast Boy.
"No one's called," replied Robin, "But there was a message calling all Titans to return to the Tower."
"Should we not go and warn them that it is a trap?" asked Star.
"We will as soon as we find out about something else that's quite interesting," replied Robin, "It seems a special senate meeting is about to take place and I want to know why."
"So the plan is to sneak a peek at this special meeting and then head over to the tower to see if we can finally find some answers?" questioned Raven.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Cy said.
Titans East
Terra had just arrived at the east tower where Aqualad was staying. He rushed out to greet her and they embraced.
"Terra," he said, "I was worried about you. I heard about the attack at Titans Tower."
"I'm fine," she replied, "But are you okay?"
"I've been here the whole time."
"Good. It's just you and me since the other Titans betrayed the city."
"What? That can't be."
"Perhaps if they remain loyal to the city… well, never mind. Aqualad, the chancellor gave me an important mission. The villains are hiding in Hawaii and I'm going to end the war for good."
"Well, that's good I guess, but should you really be going out?"
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Once I'm finished I'll come right back. So please wait for me, my love."
They shared a kiss and she took off on a rock across the ocean. Aqualad just stood there watching her and feeling like he couldn't do anything to help.
Jump City
The Titans had snuck into the senate building and saw Slade standing in the middle of the room. He was now wearing his orange and black outfit.
"The Titans' rebellion had been foiled and the remaining ones will be hunted down. Their attack on me was brutal, but I and my resolves have never been stronger. So, in order to maintain security and stability I will reorganize the Jump City government into the first new empire! I assure you all this will be a safe and secure society."
The building erupted in applause.
"Why are they applauding?" wondered Star, "They have truly lost their freedoms if an empire is formed. Especially if this liar is in command of it all."
"He's probably bribed and threatened all the senators into going along with his plan," replied a furious Robin, "Come on, we don't need to see any more. Let's get to Titans Tower now."
Hawaii
Terra had arrived on one of the Hawaiian islands. There the villain's base was next to the volcano. She entered to see all the villains that were waiting there.
Dr. Light, Killer Moth, Trogaar, The Amazing Mumbo, Psimon, Puppet King, Warp, Phobia, Control Freak, Katarou, Punk Rocket (he busted out of jail), Mad Mod, and even Ding Dong Daddy had joined them. A few of the H.I.V.E. robots were placed across the room as well. The villains all turned to see Terra.
"Ah, you must be Terra," said Light, "We've been expecting you."
Terra made no reply as she sealed of all the doors with well placed boulders. She then proceeded to complete the mission Slade sent her there for: to kill all the other villains.
One by one they fell. Some who tried to fight back were no match for Terra's great power. Some pleaded for their lives to be spared, but their cries fell on deaf ears. At long last, all that remained was Dr. Light.
"Please, the war's over. I surrender. Deathstroke promised us power, but I just want to go to jail now! Spare my -"
Light was cut off as a sharp, jagged rock went straight through his chest.
